Trained People. Equipment is not all that is in short supply. Manpower capable of working with the increasingly complex drilling rigs is scarce as well. "You just can't go down to the corner any more and pick up some roughnecks and roustabouts," points out Michel Halbouty, an independent producer. "This is sophisticated machinery, and it needs trained people to operate it." Even so, West Texas oil companies are now paying as much as $1,200 a month for unskilled labor. Some producers want Government help in training new oilfield workers, plus federal intervention in the steel industry...
...MONASTIC WORLD, by Christopher Brooke, photographs by Wim Swaan (Random House; 272 pages; $35). Pictorially, this is as exhilarating and artful a presentation of Christian monastic structures as any popular volume ever before assembled.

Bach: Mass in B Minor (Herbert von Karajan conducting the Berlin Philharmonic with soloists and chorus; Deutsche Grammophon, 3 LPs, $23.94). Is a cathedral or a chapel the proper setting for Bach's mighty Mass? These two recordings are not likely to resolve that longstanding controversy. The Von Karajan production is monumental, sumptuous and well planned, with the attention to detail and seamless le gato that are his trademark. In Von Karajan's hands, the six-part chorus...
